waiting on wednesday: stars above


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted over at Breaking the Spine!

This week's pick: Stars Above by Marissa Meyer

release date: February 2nd

The enchantment continues....

The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories—and secrets—that are wondrous, vicious, and romantic. How did Cinder first arrive in New Beijing? How did the brooding soldier Wolf transform from young man to killer? When did Princess Winter and the palace guard Jacin realize their destinies?

With nine stories—five of which have never before been published—and an exclusive never-before-seen excerpt from Marissa Meyer’s upcoming novel, Heartless, about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Stars Above is essential for fans of the bestselling and beloved Lunar Chronicles.

--
The Little Android: A retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” set in the world of The Lunar Chronicles.
Glitches: In this prequel to Cinder, we see the results of the plague play out, and the emotional toll it takes on Cinder. Something that may, or may not, be a glitch….
The Queen’s Army: In this prequel to Scarlet, we’re introduced to the army Queen Levana is building, and one soldier in particular who will do anything to keep from becoming the monster they want him to be.
Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky: Thirteen-year-old Carswell Thorne has big plans involving a Rampion spaceship and a no-return trip out of Los Angeles.
The Keeper: A prequel to the Lunar Chronicles, showing a young Scarlet and how Princess Selene came into the care of Michelle Benoit.
After Sunshine Passes By: In this prequel to Cress, we see how a nine-year-old Cress ended up alone on a satellite, spying on Earth for Luna.
The Princess and the Guard: In this prequel to Winter, we see a game called The Princess
The Mechanic: In this prequel to Cinder, we see Kai and Cinder’s first meeting from Kai’s perspective.
Something Old, Something New: In this epilogue to Winter, friends gather for the wedding of the century...

I can't wait to dive back into the Lunar Chronicles! I actually haven't read any of these novellas, even though a couple of them are already released, so I will be stoked when I can just sit down and reimmerse myself in this world.

What are you looking forward to this week?

  10. I have only read the first book, which I quite enjoyed, so I need to get on and read the rest. I have kind of been waiting for the novellas to be released in one book though haha. I'm also really intrigued by this Queen of Hearts story she's doing!

  11. I'm so behind on this! I recently read Scarlet and LOVED it, so I'm really curious about the next book ... especially because there's lots of Thorne in it? And everyone LOVES Thorne! Can't wait to see why that is so. :P

    I hope you enjoy it!! <3
